I had gallbladder removed about 6-7 years ago. I had class 3, stage 3, triple negative breast cancer with a total mastectomy. After chemo, I had gallstones and oncol doc suggested removal. I have been having off and on pain on right side, just under ribcage. at times think I feel a small pea-marble size lump. I am overweight and non-smoker, take no medicine, only multi-vit, vit C & D. BP is normal. Have some bouts of loose bowels, hard to control, etc. No family history of cancer, but had a materal cousin my age (now 59( die 2 yrs ago from colon caner and a paternal 1st cousin die about 8 yrs go of pancreatic cancer.
